Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the variables a and b in the formula are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. So that means that 15 and x are the legs and 17 is the hypotenuse. Plug those numbers where they go in the formula like below:

15^2+x^2=17^2

Go ahead and square the 15 and 17 to simplify it a little.

225+x^2=289

Now, get the x by itself by subtracting 225 from each side

x^2=64

Take the square root of each side to remove the squared on x and solve.

x=8

How can you show that two objects are proportional with a table?

vredina [299]

So this is our table:

-----------------
x-values | a b c d e f |
-----------------
y-values | g h i j k l |
-----------------

You can know that the values in the table are proportional if:

$\frac{a}{g}=\frac{b}{h} =\frac{c}{i}=\frac{d}{j}=\frac{e}{k}=\frac{f}{l}$

Hope that helps :)

Simplify the expression. (16y54y3)12 Enter your answer in the box.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Simplify the expression: $(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Use the exponent power:

$a^n \cdot a^m = a^{n+m}$

$\sqrt[n]{a^n} =a$
$(a^n)^m = a^{nm}$

$(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Apply the given rules;

$(16y^{\frac{5}{4} +3} )^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Simplify:

$(16y^{\frac{17}{4}} )^{\frac{1}{2}}$

then;

$(16)^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot (y^{\frac{17}{4}})^{\frac{1}{2}} = 4y^{\frac{17}{8}}$

Therefore, the simplified expression of $(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is, $4y^{\frac{17}{8}}$

N + N - 35000=833000

adell [148]

Answer:

N + 434000

Step-by-step explanation:

N + N - 35000 = 833000

(add 35000 to both sides)

N + N = 868000

(N + N is equivalent to 2N)

2N = 868000

(divide both sides by 2)

N = 434000

What’s the equation of a trapezoid

saul85 [17]

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides, and the formula for the area of a trapezoid is 1/2 times (base 1 + base 2) times height
